To replace him, the Yankees brought up catcher Ben Rortvedt, who played five games during a call-up in May.Trevino says the wrist injury bothered him when he hit and threw. After hitting .248 with a career-high 11 home runs during an All-Star 2022 season, Trevino batted just .210 with four homers this year.“I’m not one for excuses,” Trevino said. “I was out there pla...

The state’s Racial Justice Act prohibits the state from pursuing or securing criminal convictions or sentences on the basis of race, ethnicity or national origin.But the judge spent much of Friday’s hearing ruling on motions and not on evi...
